(The ‘type name’ is wrong because the array doesn't have a name, and is the result of the function setting the NAME variable to "type name" when it's null.) $ cat a.cpp && g++ -c a.cpp void foo (void) { new int [4][__SIZE_MAX__]; } a.cpp: In function ‘void foo()’: a.cpp:3:29: error: size of array ‘type name’ is too large new int [4][__SIZE_MAX__]; ^
